Thank you so much for the kind words, I really enjoy doing it.
Fiddlstix did a good job of supplying music for the Canteen the first 6 months. Recently I told Billie that I would like to do more at the Canteen and she showed me how to post pictures and music. I always enjoyed Fiddlstix music so much here and know that he is a busy man so I'm just helping out in the music department. I hope that Fiddlstix will still supply us with his music choices. The more music the merrier!
I also like to post pictures of our beautiful country in case any of the soldier's out there are homesick.
The US Lighthouse Service can trace its beginnings to August 7, 1789 when President George Washington approved an act of Congerss which incorporated all esisting and future aids to navigation into a federal system. It was not until 1939 that the US Light Service was merged with the
US Coast Guard. Lighthouses in the United States have come and gone over the past 300 years. A wide variety of styles and construction materials have been used. Today, the vast majority of operational lighthouses are no longer manned by "keepers" as they have been automated. Many have long since passed into history.
